Has anyone seen the trailer for this.  This movie comes out on March 23, 2012 I believe.  It has some archery in it.

Yep gonna be killer. The book was really good and even though it was written for"Teens", I still managed to grasp most of it.
 The heroine is an archer before the Games begin and the book references her father as a bowyer. Author did at least
some research because of comments relating to bows being broken while being built.

To me it is cool that a futuristic movie showcases an archer with a primitive bow.

Yes I think her name in the movie is Katniss.....she shoots a pretty nice looking bow before volunteering for the games then it looks like a Korean bow she shoots.  This is going to be a series of movies like the twilight movies I think.

My wife made me go watch the new Twilight movie Sunday afternoon with her and the preview to Hunger Games was at the beginning... Looks like it will be an awesome movie. Whenever they showed the part where she was shooting pheasants on the fly and when she shot the bullseye in the preview I noticed that she had good form and the tiller on the bow looked really good.   :)  Can't wait till it comes out looks very good.  There was a preview for the new Snow White movie too it looks very grown up and good as well.  :)
